You may not have the Crew? I have an 11 Crew and they have power drivers and passenger seats. Too, they have almost all of the options standard except for leather, sunroof and rear DVD monitor. I'm 6'1", 190 and love the seats.

They are firm much like my last Mercedes(coincidence? let me tell you though, they are purrfect for long hauls. Took ours from Chicago to New York this past summer and had no aching body parts after more than 15 hours of driving. My gf used to own a Taurus and that had some soft seats, nice for short trips but murder for anything longer than an hour drive IMO.

Took the long trip to Long Island and back. I survived but they r not as comfortable as the gen 2 seats . Btw I averaged around 23.5 round trip. Big difference from 16 on the gen 2 hemi. I stopped at train land in lynbrooke ny and there was a inferno rt all decked out. 2 inferno durangos in the parking lot at the same time was different

Oh, Yeah, that's what I want -- a heated massage at 80 mph to make me all warm and toasty ready for beddy bye. :-)

I'm about 6-2, 270 and find the DD seats really comfortable on long trips. I pu the put the seat as low as possible and lean the back down far enough so my eyes are just above the middle of the windshield and slide forward to where I'm about 18 inches from the steering wheel.

2013 Durango R/T seats are very firm, but they do well on long stretches of highway. I think they could have made them a bit bigger and I'm not a big guy. My 92 Taurus SHO had some of the best seats--they swallowed you.
